ADDENDA
Colored-sheet Addenda, which include additions and revisions to individual Sections of the Code, are
published annually and will be sent automatically to purchasers of the applicable Sections up to the
publication of the 2001 Code. The 1998 Code is available only in the loose-leaf format; accordingly,
the Addenda will be issued in the loose-leaf, replacement-page format.
INTERPRETATIONS
ASME issues written replies to inquiries concerning interpretation of technical aspects of the Code.
The Interpretations for each individual Section will be published separately and will be included as
part of the update service to that Section. They will be issued semiannually (July and December) up
to the publication of the 2001 Code. Interpretations of Section III, Divisions 1 and 2, will be included
with the update service to Subsection NCA.
CODE CASES
The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee meets regularly to consider proposed additions and revisions
to the Code and to formulate Cases to clarify the intent of existing requirements or provide, when the
need is urgent, rules for materials or constructions not covered by existing Code rules. Those Cases
which have been adopted will appear in the appropriate 1998 Code Cases book: (1) Boilers and Pressure
Vessels and (2) Nuclear Components. Supplements will be sent automatically to the purchasers of the
Code Cases books up to the publication of the 2001 Code.
